The first debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the candidates for the 2024 United States presidential election, will take place on Thursday, August 9th at the CNN studio.

The 90-minute debate will be held without an audience present, and the candidates will not be allowed to bring any notes with them to the studio. At ages 81 and 78 respectively, Biden and Trump are the oldest presidential candidates in U.S. history. During the two breaks in the debate, they will not be permitted to speak with their advisors.

This debate marks the first direct face-off between the two main candidates in the upcoming election and could have a significant impact on voter opinion. Recent polls indicate a close race between Biden and Trump.
